Think it can’t happen to your town?

To make it worse, I had to close all the windows so the color powder doesn’t blow inside…

From all those photographs, the one that struck me (and probably not many others) the most is the one with the bicycles all lined up. The juxtaposition of very modern with the very communist-egalitarian is a hoot. I have a similar photograph from my trip to Shanghai – hundreds upon hundreds of bicycles, all virtually identical, Schwinn-looking, rust-covered, circa 1950s. I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
